History
The settlement was given the name Millersview in honor of Edward D. Miller, who co-founded the town with Henry Barr. The village had a post office that opened in 1903 and was operational until the early 1990s. Millersview was given credit for having a windmill and a Woodmen of the World lodge in 1908 by county advertising materials. By 1914, the town boasted three churches, three mercantile businesses, a grocer, a gin, and a grain, hay, and feed company, with a population of 160. By 1931, the population was estimated to be 300; however, by 1933, it had decreased to 100; by 1939, it had increased once again, to 250. After that, the population fell, partly as a result of the 1950s Texas drought. Millersview had the post office, four businesses, and five churches in 1963 when the population was estimated to be 175 people. A population of 75 was recorded between 1970 and 2000.
Although Millersview is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 76862.
On May 7, 1995, an F0 tornado struck Millersview. Another F0 tornado struck the community on May 30, 2012. The tornado had a brief touchdown with no damage.
